Just when Zhou Zhang met Fu De, the highest-ranking official in the Han Dynasty, at the Luoyang Restaurant, Xu You also wandered back to Yecheng. This is actually not Xu You's fault. It mainly snows in winter and the mountain roads are difficult.
Okay, then it rains again during the Spring Festival, and there are indeed a lot of things, and there are several large cars following us. Can we not go slower?
After Xu You arrived in Yecheng, he also hurriedly went north to meet the most senior official of the Han Dynasty's predecessor.
This person is none other than Yuan Shao.
Since the beginning of the spring of the second year of Yanping, Yuan Shao has gone north to the front line of northern Hebei and personally visited the front battlefield of Yijing. Military actions have become more frequent. According to the current situation, Gongsun Zan still stationed this large number of troops in addition to Yijing.
In addition to the horses, there were also troops stationed in some nearby towns. Fortunately, Gongsun Zan himself lost his mind and hid in Yijing and did not come out, which gave Yuan Shao many opportunities.
Gongsun Zan's strategy was discovered by Tian Feng and others from the very beginning.
According to Tian Feng's original words, it was just a superficial trick to lure the enemy deeper, and not worth mentioning.
Once you see through it, it is naturally simple.
Gongsun Zan's strategy is to use the surrounding small cities to gradually consume Yuan Shao's troops, lure the enemy deeper, and then defeat Yuan Shao in one fell swoop at Yijing City, and then roll back like a bead curtain, not only to regain the lost territory, but also to
May take advantage of the situation to capture Jizhou.
In terms of the overall strategy, strictly speaking, Gongsun Zan was not wrong, and Gongsun Zan's strategy was actually similar to the strategy used in the war with the barbarians. Speaking of which, Gongsun Zan may have learned from the methods. Perhaps Gongsun Zan used this method before.
One move was also successful against the barbarians, but Gongsun Zan forgot two points.
One is that this place is Han, and the other is that both sides are Han.
When the Han army attacks the barbarians, the desert is vast and the land is unfamiliar to them. When the barbarians attack the Han land, it’s a beautiful world. It’s nice to see that. Therefore, the mutual friendliness between the barbarians and the Han people is usually minus 100.
, and they have been fighting for many years, and everyone has their own hatred, so Gongsun Zan's men must be brave when facing the Hu people's southern invasion, and rarely surrender when they are weak.
But now they are not facing barbarians, but Han people, and they are also the Yuan family, the most famous clan in the world with a good reputation!
If you surrender to Yuan Shao, you will not be reviled by others or even humiliate your family like you surrendered to the barbarians. You are also guaranteed to get a higher position, get better treatment, and be able to exchange for newer bags and newer mobile phones.
...Ahem, it's a leak. Anyway, that's what it means.
So now, do you still have to resist so hard? Or just lie down and enjoy it?
When Gongsun Zan's generals had more problems swirling in their minds, they naturally became softer and reluctantly accepted Yuan Shaohu's appointment. As a result, Gongsun Zan was left jumping around in Yi Jing, cursing his subordinates for their bad conscience.
They all betrayed him, and only a few girls who were tied to him were considered considerate and trustworthy personnel...
One wrong step will lead to wrong steps.
Up to now, Gongsun Zan has been hard pressed to return, but the problem is that Yuan Shao has mobilized a large army, and the required food and salary are being spent like water. In addition, during this period of time, Yuan Shao has mobilized troops very frequently, except for the battle with Gongsun Zan.
In addition to the battle, they also fought against Heishan on the left, Tian Kai on the right, and even provided some supplies to Cao Cao...
Although Zai doesn't feel bad for spending his father's money, the problem is that his father does!
The Jizhou nobles were often whispering behind their backs that Yuan Shao was a bastard, a prodigal woman, well, a prodigal man...
Ever since Yuan Shao came to Jizhou, starting from the governor of Bohai, the gentry and powerful people in Jizhou have received many private placement invitations from Yuan Shao, and they have also subscribed for many Yuan Shao's bonds. However, Yuan Shao's bonds are issued once in a while.
Nowadays, sales are becoming more frequent.
Doing the math on your fingers, almost everything in the past three or four years has been spent. As for the income?
Is there any?
There are a lot fewer libertines and rangers in the market, and there seem to be a lot less refugees who were originally affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Is this a benefit received by the noble gentry in Jizhou?
Although most of the noble nobles in Jizhou know that once the Game of Kings is launched, they will need to constantly spend money and money again and again, but Yuan Datou also wants to make people breathe a sigh of relief, right? Not to mention the noble nobles of the Han Dynasty.
They are all annual salaries, and most of them can only receive their salary once a year. How can we bear that Yuan Datou really treats them as being taken advantage of and demands krypton gold all year round...
Jizhou nobleman Hao glanced around, holding the coffin book in his pocket, shaking his head like a rattle, saying that he would no longer use krypton gold. Whether krypton gold can produce miracles is another question, but there will definitely be poor people.
and the declining gods.
If you can't afford it, don't double it.
So in the second year of Yanping, the situation between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan became extremely strange.
Gongsun Zan seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his strategy. Yuan Datou actually stepped over the wall and almost turned over. But how to change it now and what new strategy to adopt? Gongsun Zan hadn't thought of any tricks yet, and he couldn't find anyone to ask for advice. He stood there blankly.
On the spot, I tried to be cute and pass the test...
Yuan Shao seems to be able to push Gongsun Zan down with more force. He can assume any posture he wants, but the problem is that he is just a little short of it. He can't get over, his trousers are caught on something, and he can't show his cowardice in front of Gongsun's classmate.
He made a declaration on the wall viciously, waiting, waiting for me to go down and kill you...
Under such circumstances, Xu You was as excited as a weasel who had just stolen a nest of chickens. He smiled happily and came close to Yuan Shao with three strands of beard raised.
"Ming Gong, let's take a look at this chicken..." Xu You personally held the "Honghu Clothes" produced by Pingyang and presented them to Yuan Shao. He was so excited that his tongue was running dry, "Ah, no, it's this clothes, this 'Honghu Clothes'"
Clothes'... There is no nobler thing in the world than the swan. After three years of hunting in the west, I gathered a hundred swans and took their down to make this clothes... A certain incompetent person took this clothes specially.
, Dedicate it to Duke Ming, and congratulate Duke Ming like a swan spreading its wings across the four seas!"
"Oh?" When Yuan Shao heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately put it on his body happily. He didn't know whether it was a real warmth or a psychological effect. After closing his eyes and feeling it, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Good! There is actually a little bit of warmth.
The mind travels throughout the body! It is truly a treasure!"
There were no down jackets at all in the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shao himself was the leader of the noble clan and the leader of the Han people, so he never bothered to wear leather robes to keep out the cold. He always wore brocade, cotton and linen. Therefore, the upper body of the fine down jacket made by General Zhengxi,
Suddenly, Yuan Shao, who had never worn a down jacket, felt that spring was brighter.
Xu You was naturally laughing along with him.
Yuan Shao chinned his head slightly, then looked at Xu You and said, "With such a treasure, why didn't Ziyuan keep one?"
Xu You hurriedly waved his hand, and tugged on the collar a little, and said: "How can a person with poor fortune enjoy this clothes? This clothes is only made of cashmere... but it is warm..."
"Oh...it doesn't have to be like this. Just ordinary clothes can be worn..." Yuan Shao flicked his robe and said, "You said this clothes were made by Zhengxi? So can Zhengxi wear it?"
Xu You smiled, shook his head and said, "I don't know if I wore it in the inner room...but when I received you, Zhengxi wore a leather robe..."
"Leather robe?" Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows.
Xu You nodded.
"This Zhengxi..." Yuan Shao hummed twice, and then said, "What do you think of Zhengxi?"
Yuan Shao has many counselors, Xu You is just one of them, and whether it is handling political affairs or making suggestions, Xu You is unfortunately not as good as the others. Maybe Xu You is not that bad, but the problem is that Xu You is bad at many things.
He uses his values to measure and handle affairs, so it is inevitable that there will be some biases sometimes, and his current position is not embarrassing. If he had not joined Yuan Shao first and relied on his seniority, he would have been marginalized now.
In the political game, there has always been progress and no retreat. If there is no high return and high output, who will be willing to devote themselves to it and spend a lifetime of energy?
So Xu You is no exception. The highest return of interest at this moment is nothing more than staying in favor of Yuan Shao.
Xu You hadn't found any good methods before, but after going to Pingyang this time, Xu You couldn't help but suddenly realized that he actually had his advantages...
Why bother to stick to some tedious political affairs, why bother to quarrel with those harsh and mean people?
A certain person, Xu You, Xu Ziyuan, should do what others cannot do, and should accomplish what others cannot do!
"Ming Gong, we have stopped here and stationed troops..." Xu You did not directly answer Yuan Shao's question, but said, "Is it because we are trapped in military supplies, money and food?"
Yuan Shao snorted and did not answer, but a slight dissatisfaction was revealed in his expression, but Yuan Shao did not deny it. After all, anyone who is willing can naturally see this.
"This trip to the north should be able to resolve Duke Ming's worries..." Xu You said, cupping his hands, "Although Zheng Xi is talented, he is still a bit young and not stable enough. He also likes some obscene things.
…”
"Hmm..." Yuan Shao stroked his beard with one hand and nodded. Yuan Shao agreed with this point. He had heard Zheng Xi fussing over the past two years. In the past few years, he had also heard about some auspiciousness. It was really haha. This
If the auspiciousness of the big man is real and has miraculous effects, what else are you playing with and why do you have to work so hard?
The Xiqiang Rebellion and the Yellow Turban Rebellion have arisen. Can we just send Xiangrui there? Do we still need soldiers?
Therefore, although Yuan Shao and others said nothing, they were quite disapproving of the auspiciousness. As for Fei Qian, who had created auspiciousness several times in a row, Yuan Shao would inevitably classify him as an opportunistic person. Therefore,
When I heard Xu You say that Fei Qian likes to write novel things, he naturally agreed.
"The expedition to the west certainly has the ability to annihilate Baibo, regain the territory, and stabilize the place. It also has the ability to set up workshops in Pingyang, mine and refine elixirs, and engage in uninhibited behavior..." Xu You chuckled a few times, lowered his voice and leaned closer and said, "Someone is away from home.
During the period of Pingyang, Zhengxi took the daughter of the Pei family from east of the river as his concubine...Not only that, Cai Zhonglang...Ming Gong, Cai Zhonglang had a daughter...according to someone's news, Zhengxi took him as his concubine...hehe, hehe..."
"Oh..." Yuan Shao nodded, and then his face was calm and non-committal. Young people, isn't this the way they come? Isn't it normal for young people to admire Ai? Back then, Yuan Shao climbed over the widow's wall. He was lustful, nothing like that.
Big problem, but lustful plus alchemy, then...
"...You said you would take pills during the expedition to the west?" Yuan Shao asked.
Xu Yougong cupped his hands and said: "Hey... Ming Gong, does he know that there is a staff member under General Pingdong, named Xi Zhicai..."
Yuan Shao shook his head. How could he pay attention to a person with a mean name? However, Cao Cao sent an envoy to conquer the west? What does this mean and what is he going to do?
"I came to Pingyang, but this person also sent an envoy to conquer the west on behalf of Pingdong..." Xu You said, "What I asked for should be nothing more than weapons and horses... However, I saw and heard with my own eyes... Zhengxi gave him a gift
There are several jars of strong liquor, which are said to be effective in aiding walking and dispersing sweat. There is also a box of black jade essence, called 'Black Jade Intermittent Ointment', which is said to be useful in removing erysipelas... Ming Gong tried to think about it, it is an elixir.
, time-consuming and trouble-consuming, not to mention a day's work, if it is not the time to conquer the West..."
These days, taking some pills and taking some medicine is really not within the reach of ordinary people. It is extremely expensive. In addition, those Taoist alchemists often claim that they will practice seven, seven, forty-nine, ninety-nine, eighty-one days.
And so on, in the minds of most people, this elixir is really troublesome, and it is impossible to make it immediately if you want it.
Therefore, when Fei Qian took out the so-called "Black Jade Intermittent Cream", it was either donated by others, or Fei Qian had to find someone to refine it himself. After all, General Pingdong's envoy could not be on a mission.
I even sent someone to Pingyang in advance to say hello and say that I was coming and to help me practice a furnace of elixirs...
Therefore, excluding the possibility of temporary refining, the elixir given to General Pingdong's envoy Xi Zhicai can only be from General Zhengxi Feiqian's own inventory. In this case, even if Zhengxi did not refine it himself,
It was donated by others, but if Zheng Xi didn't like elixirs himself, would his subordinates have given him such a thing?
Yuan Shu also had the habit of taking elixirs, so some of Yuan Shu's subordinates offered elixirs to him, but Yuan Shao did not. Therefore, Yuan Shao's subordinates, whether they were ministers or nobles, would not use elixirs to try to gain Yuan Shao's favor.
"Hmph...hehe..." Yuan Shao smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, Ziyuan is really insightful..." Would Xu You lie to him? Probably not, Yuan Shao thought, not to mention the dramatist under General Pingdong.
The question is whether he is really taking drugs and whether he really got some "black jade intermittent ointment" from Zhengxi. Send someone south to find out.
Yuan Shao suddenly felt a lot more relaxed in his heart. How much threat could a drug-taking Zheng Xi pose? When he was in Luoyang, he often saw the so-called romantic talents after taking drugs, so don't look at Zheng Xi.
Guanzhong Hanzhong, it should just be that Guanzhong Hanzhong is chaotic and cowardly...
If the Central Plains is pacified, just like Emperor Guangwu did when he took control of Heluo and moved into Sanfu, things will definitely continue as before.
Xu You quickly raised his hands with a smile and said: "I have been entrusted by Ming Gong, how dare I not do my best!"
"Well, Ziyuan is lucky to have suffered. I will remember your merits and reward you without hesitation..." Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Just now, the talented Ziyuan once said, can you solve the current situation? If you have any good ideas, you might as well say..."
